Wintry Mix Thursday, Then Possible Weekend Snow Storm In Pennsylvania Forecast

A winter weather threat looms this week in Pennsylvania. Snow or a wintry mix is possible later this week after a dramatic upswing in temperatures. The wintry mix of snow, freezing rain and sleet is possible Thursday night into Friday, following highs in the 50s and 60s on Wednesday and Thursday.

But that's not all. Forecasters are also monitoring a potential weekend snowstorm.

The weekend storm may be more impactful than the late-week system, says Accuweather.

For now, forecasters are unsure exactly how that possible weekend storm will play out. The National Weather Service is currently calling for just a 30 percent chance of snow on Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Residents should keep their eye on the forecast.

In the meantime, enjoy the mild temperatures expected for the region on Wednesday, when the highs will hit the mid-60s.
